Applied Mathematics (MS)

M.S. Program in Applied Mathematics

This 30-point program leads to a Master of Science degree. Students must complete five core courses and five electives. All degree requirements must be completed within five years. A candidate is required to maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average. If a student admitted to the Applied Mathematics M.S. only program is interested in the Ph.D. program, the student must reapply for admission. The core courses provide a student with a foundation in the fundamentals of applied mathematics and contribute 15 points of graduate credit toward the degree.

A core course is any 4000-level or above course with an APMA designator (excluding APMA E4901 and APMA E4903). Students must complete five of the following courses or any other core course not listed below:
